The wider public, as I’ve said before, is in favor of more good things and fewer bad things. To them, more energy — of any kind — sounds good. Cutting off a source of energy sounds bad. Given the choice between dirtier energy and cleaner energy, they’ll choose cleaner. But they will rarely choose higher costs or reduced energy supply.

That's why Gallup found that majorities in both parties favor approving Keystone XL. To the public it means more energy, from a nice country.

It goes without saying it’s pretty hard to run a free website and to cover the many costs such as server hosting, rent, IT support, etc. In an ideal world If every Climate Realist could donate at least $2 each month, there would be no need for this sort of request asking for your help, but that's not going to happen.
